What’s been happening:

My PSU degree in Geography in 1982 helped launch a 25 year career as a Geographic Information Systems Professional. After an extensive review by The GIS Certification Institute of my professional achievements, in February 2009 I was certified as a GISP and I am now in an elite group of GIS practitioners. There are only approximately 3000 GISPs worldwide. My current position is GIS Specialist with the City of Richmond, VA.
